Celeron II and new BH6 question

[PistachioByAzul]

Just picked up a brand new BH6 rev 1.01 and a Celermine II 600. Since the board is new and doesn't have the latest BIOS updated with support for the Celermine II, would I be at risk of frying the cpu? Or would the BH6 default to the CIIs 1.5v?

It'll probably work but may show you the wrong cpu info on the startup screen. I'd flash it anyway for stabilities sake. It's a no brainer if you follow the directions. I use a bootdisk made by a Win95 system(don't use a '98 or newer disk). Worse case scenerio is you have to remove your bios chip and install it in another similar computer -while it's running from a bootable floppy- and reflash it.
